wrote two children’s stories following an Artist’s Way workshop with fellow Orcas Islanders. One of them was a finalist in the Pacific Northwest Writers Conference while the other, The Witch and the ‘Roo of Wicky Woo, was self-published. Jan joined an Orcas writers group, inspiring her to create adult short stories, novellas and, eventually, prose poems. Observing the daily beauty, intimacy and goings-on of the Islands tickles her fancy, prompting that urgent need to “write it down!” She happily lives and laughs with her husband Frank and their white standard poodle Spencer. (She also has to make time to help manage Frank’s art business.)
